Notes & Combos
I may have gotten diamond 1 in 3 days with virtual world but this was brutal. i failed 5 d2 to d1 rank-up matches in a row due to bricks. i hate this game.
This is my take on the spell canceller build that got 6th place in the december duelist cup. Even if your opening hand is mediocre, you can always make a 3-interruption endboard of chuche, snow, and baronne. With any decent opening hand (i.e. any starter + kauwloon / nyannyan), you can choose between two good endboards: (1) baronne summoning canceller + chuche + riser sending snow + riser synchroing with snow ON YOUR OPPONENT'S TURN for dragster, or (2) baronne + chuche + beatrice sending snow + dragster/chengying.
If you do open the nuts, you can end on (1) pairen summoning spell canceller, (2) baronne, (3) shooting riser sending snow, which (4) synchros with snow on your opponent's turn to make dragster, and (5) chuche. insane. for turn 3, make chengying to banish what few cards your opponent has left and swing for game.
This build hard counters runick, heavily counters despia (fallen of albaz's fusion effect can turn the tables on you), and even consistently prevents adamancipator and dragon link from setting up, but has an awkward matchup into swordsoul if you attempt to summon canceller without making pairen.
Check out the pinned posts in #virtual-world at the master duel meta discord for my guide to VW adventurer! it'll be updated some time this week.

This is the build I needed to see. I can finally dust off my royal Lulu, M7, and riser dragon! Thanks!

Sadly, no. Beatrice is literally the reason why Virtual World is playable whatsoever in a post-VFD banlist. As for Dragster, the only worthwhile replacement is Black Rose Moonlight Dragon - also a UR.
Virtual World is not a budget deck. It requires an expensive engine (Adventurer cards) and a stacked Extra Deck.

I only play 1 LaoLao, because it's really bad in the starting hand, even if you have the starter. I search it via Lulu 90% of the time when I have something to ressurect from the gy. Also I really don't like Snow, because you need stuff in gy to make plays and ressurect Shenshen (which is a great floodgate against most meta decks)

replying to destructx here.
i don't think you understand why there's 2-3 there. it's the worst starter but...
laolao + kauwloon or laolao + e-tele/nyan = good board of at least baronne into canceller + riser into snow into dragster + chuche.
better than bricking. i agree with swapping one for a meta relevant handtrap if it'll be impactful enough but your reasoning is just wrong.
also: turn 1, 90% of the time in modern virtual world, you are not making shenshen. you only do that if you open the nuts, i.e. you get to play all 4 names in one turn, and it's the very last thing you'd make. this deck's specific game plan is to abuse spell canceller by summoning it with baronne and protecting it with snow and chuche.
